You think so? maybe... you could argue that you could kill others faster with SSRIs than with Tylenol
I dont see NSAID and tylenol arguments as valid here. Yes, the absolute #s may be higher, but when compared to how widespread the use is the actual chances drop quite a bit. How many households have the full gambit of OTC anti-inflammatory and fever reducers in their cupboards as compared with those with anti-psychotics/depressants?
I dont really know a ton on these drugs yet. I just think comparing to tylenol or advil is oversimplifying the issue. Aside from a single friday night binge and then a massive tylenol overdose, I am not aware of OTC deaths/harm that were not due to prolonged overuse. If you pop a fist-full of a neurotransmitter reuptake blocker you are in significantly worse spot than a single fistful of ibuprophen.
and again - this is just to say there is a spectrum and a line somewhere on that spectrum. I'm sure there are certain drugs that could easily be OTC and very likely a larger number that fit this category than those that are OTC that should be made Rx. I just do not accept the "monopoly" theory. There are plenty of things doctors do that will keep us employed aside from writing scripts.
